Should you hire a kitchen and bathroom designer?

certified_kitchen_and_bathroom_designerIf you spend any time on Pinterest at all, you’ve seen many pictures of dream kitchens and bathrooms, designed for perfection and organized for optimum efficiency. Perhaps you’ve pinned a few as a future reference for when you remodel your own kitchen or bathroom? While you can see the gorgeous end result in a picture, the process of remodeling can be very involved, going well beyond redecorating and choosing countertops and cabinet hardware.

A helpful way to get through a kitchen or bathroom remodel is to enlist the help of a Certified Kitchen Designer (CKD), a licensed, professional designer with training in both kitchen and bathroom design with specific emphasis on cabinetry. A CKD will guide you, from the planning stages to hiring subcontractors to, yes, picking out those countertops.

In this age of “do-it-yourself” projects, you might be tempted to save some money and handle the project design and logistics yourself. But homeowners who have worked with a CKD found that they got the most value for their money on the entire project and were able to avoid making costly mistakes.

The National Kitchen and Bath Association refers to professional kitchen and bath designers as skilled traffic cops—“they get everything to their proper places safely.”

How can a Certified Kitchen Designer help you with your kitchen or bath remodel?

  • Planning an efficient room layout
  • Incorporating your style into the design elements
  • Selecting materials and products that fit your budget and match your style
  • Advising you on new products and technology
  • Coordinating the subcontractors—plumbers, electricians, lighting experts, carpenters, cabinet installers, flooring specialists
  • Managing the remodeling project from the complex issues to the tiniest details

So, keep pinning those pictures on Pinterest. Get inspired to create the kitchen and bathroom of your dreams, and check out the National Kitchen and Bath Association for more information on working with Certified Kitchen Designers who will help you make those dreams a reality.

I would give Choice 10 stars if I could. The folks at Choice Home Remodeling have replaced all 31 of the windows in our house over the past year. They are incredibly professional and deliver an outstanding final product. The replacement windows look better than the originals and I get compliments on them all the time! The inside temperature of the inside glass on a 55 degree day has improved by 8 degrees! I am looking forward to seeing what the differential is once the weather turns cold. Their pricing is fair and the quality is second to none. I recommend them 1000%.
We absolutely love the new door we just had installed from Choice! We had such a great experience with Choice from start to finish. Tim was great and helped us pick out the perfect door for our home and didn't try to sell us the most expensive model and was honest, not pushy. Everyone we came in contact with was friendly and professional and the work was top notch.
I bought my windows from them. Everyone one was so nice and professional. Christie was very helpful. Thank you, will use again for other projects
So pleased with our bathroom renovation by Choice Home Remodeling! Alyssa Hayes did an excellent job in designing a functional and attractive way to best utilize our small space. Our kids are thrilled to have their own sinks! Alyssa patiently guided us through the design choices, made recommendations and outlined the construction process. The construction phrase was very timely, and Ken Brown was available for any questions and kept us informed of the schedule and what part of the project was happening when. I was very impressed that the job was finished very close to the scheduled completion date. The Choice staff and subcontractors were all respectful of our space and did a thorough job.
